The first requirement in finding a buyer for a home is to make sure the pool of potential buyers know it is on the market. For FSBO sellers, holding an open house can help to get the word out to buyers.?
Open Houses
Open houses are very effective at helping sell real estate in many parts of the country. Real estate agents use open houses constantly to generate interest in homes [and get new clients]. Should FSBO sellers (people who are selling their own homes) also use open houses to generate buyer interest? Yes, with one caveat.
Location, Location, Location
The clich? "location, location, location" applies to more than one aspect of real estate. Not only does it address appreciation issues, it also applies to open houses.
First of all, the FSBO property needs to be located in an area where open houses work. This area tends to be in city, town and suburbs where the housing market is hot. Holding an open house usually works well where the following circumstances exist:
There is a good population base,?
The home for sale can easily be seen by a lot of people,
There are more buyers than sellers, and?
Properties sell rather fast in the area.
Rural areas and areas in which sales are slow don't generally work very well. Perhaps worse, the FSBO seller can become easily disillusioned with low turnouts. If your home is in one of these areas, you're probably better off listing it on the Internet.?
An open house is a great tool for FSBOs living in a suitable location. Are you one of them?
We're not sure what took Grace Digital this long to release the Eco Terra, but hey, you can now grab one well ahead of the summer season. Priced at $149.99, this IPX7-certified boombox works just fine even when dunked in water -- the two 3-inch speakers will always float upwards to annoy fellow swimmers. There's no iPod dock connector here as the job's done using a 3.5mm jack inside the watertight compartment, but much like many iPhone headsets these days, you can use the buttons at the top to control music playback and volume on supported iPods or iPhones; whereas with other MP3 players you can only change the volume after flipping a switch.
Additionally, the Eco Terra comes with an air pressure release valve to allow easy compartment access across different altitudes. We assume this means someone somewhere has a habit of blasting out music while trekking. Of course, you'll need to install four C Celll batteries to get things started, and that'll keep you partying in the wild for around 25 hours -- long enough to play the Baywatch soundtrack CD about 23 times. And no, there's nothing wrong with that. Hit the source link if you're ready to spend some cash.
If you?ve moved beyond the typical household pets and are thinking of taking a step toward getting something a little different, an unusual pet may be the perfect fit to suit your needs. An exotic pet is a unique or strange animal kept within a domestic home that?s not commonly considered as a pet. Frequently living in jungles, swamps and wildernesses around the world, exotic pets can be extremely fascinating, but also hazardous to ignorant owners. Consequently if you want to move beyond the typical house cat or dog it?s recommended that you perform a little research to better grasp exactly what it is that you?re getting into. Hence, let?s take a look at several crucial considerations that you need to make when contemplating an exotic pet.
The Amount of Care Necessary for Your Exotic
As an accountable pet owner you?re answerable for the well-being and health of your pet, so you should start the selection process by first knowing your own capabilities in the care a maintenance of a pet. When there are lots of elements that can affect the type of exotic that might be the right match for you, some of the most basic include: Who will be handling the pet? If the pet will be maintained by a child, then wildlife that are more combative or venomous are not a good option. Can I easily afford the proper care for my animal? is yet another good question, since you should be able to buy food, supplies and medical treatment to keep your pet healthy. Lastly, Will I have the ability to provide proper care? is another big question. Exactly like a dog should be walked every day, you must be able to perform the necessary duties to ensure that your pet is well taken care of. So you must ensure that care and maintenance is thought about when deciding on an exotic pet.
Suitable Maintenance: Can You House Your New Exotic?
Exotic pets can be found in all shapes and sizes, so it?s crucial that you thoroughly determine if you have the capability to adequately house & keep your pet. Clearly if you have restricted space, then a large animal may not be the best choice for you. But over and above size, there are several more considerations that must be made. For instance, reptiles are cold blooded animals that utilize the ambient temperature in their environment to manage their internal temperature, so this requirement must be met. Another example is the availability of unique foods, since some exotic animals may require items that are not easily available in your location. Lastly, many exotics require special housing to allow them to roam without escaping; a perfect example might be anything from an exotic bird to a larger carnivore, such as a tiger. Therefore, anytime an exotic pet is under consideration, you?re capacity to accommodate the animal should be thoroughly evaluated.
Local Laws Limiting Exotic Pets
Though there are a lot of exotic pets that are perfectly appropriate, you should consult your local laws to make sure that the type of pet under consideration is allowed in your town. Typically, many aspiring exotic pet owners find that their preferred type of pet requires paperwork and licensure necessary to keep the animal in a residential setting. An unexpected example is one of roosters, because usually these birds crow early in the morning and can easily disturb everyone within earshot. For many exotic pets that may be dangerous to humans, some local governments might require specific inoculations or even the elimination of teeth or a body part to prevent injury to other people within the community. Finally, it?s not uncommon to hear of would-be owners of large animals being forced to post a bond, so ensure that you?re aware of any additional requirements. Not surprisingly, make sure that you understand the local laws before you bring home an exotic animal.
Impact of an Exotic on Your Current Pets
If you presently have one or more domestic pets, then you should consider how the addition of a new exotic pet will impact them. In a perfect world there would not be an effect, but this seldom happens in reality. First, existing pets often demonstrate an emotional reaction that can manifest itself in many different ways including erratic behavior, change in eating habits and associated issues. Second, segregating your existing and new pets may be needed depending on the possibility of conflict. Clearly mixing a boa constrictor with a small mammal like a cat may mean that kitty will eventually go missing. With such significant potential affects, it?s no wonder that you need to understand how a new exotic pet will impact your existing animals.
Moving past the typical dogs and cats can be an easy transition, however by using these tips you should avoid making a bad choice.

FOOD INFORMATION.
How safe is our food supply?
Increasingly, the corporations that supply us with processed foods are unable to guarantee the safety of their ingredients. As a result, not just red meat and poultry, is now a potential carrier of pathogens, government and industry officials concede. As the drive to keep food costs down intensifies, most corporations do not even know who is supplying their ingredients, let alone if those suppliers are screening the items for microbes and other potential dangers.
Some concede that they cannot ensure the safety of items ? from frozen vegetables to pizzas ? and that they are shifting the burden of safety to the consumer. It seems the only time we know the products are unsafe, is when there is a problem, people get sick, and the product is recalled.
The Grocery Manufacturers Association has called for new safety initiatives. They include new training and more food safety audits. The grocers also want a new internet-based recall system to speed up the process of finding and removing recalled food products.
For information on receiving recalls by e-mail, or for other food safety facts, visit: http://www.inspection.gc.ca
Don?t just guess to tell when meat, poultry and seafood are done. Instead, use a food thermometer to make sure foods have reached at least the following internal temperatures:Steaks: 145 degrees F (medium rare)
Ground beef: 160 degrees F
Chicken breasts: 165 degrees F
Whole poultry: 165 degrees F
Pork: 160 degrees F
Fish: 145 degrees F
BACK TO COOKING SCHOOL.
TENDER CUTS of meat can be cooked by dry heat, as in broiling, pan-broiling, or roasting.TOUGH CUTS can only be made tender by moist heat, as in pot-roasting and Stewing.
Our main object is to prevent shrinkage in so far as possible, and produce a tender, juicy, tasty product. In roasting, searing does little to help keep in juices, less shrinkage results at a lower temperature for a longer time (300 F). Searing however makes the meat look attractive and the outside layers taste better.
An uncovered pan with a rack in the bottom gives the best results in roasting. Cooking time varies with preference.
For rare meat, 16 minutes per pound.
For medium meat, 22 minutes per pound.
For well done meat, 30 minutes per pound.
Add salt during or after cooking, not before. The salt flavour does not penetrate more then 1 inch. If the meat does not reach the desired colour during roasting, increase the heat to (500 F) for a few minutes before removing from the pan.
Methods of searing is subjecting the meat to a high temperature until it is nicely browned.
By Browning in an uncovered pan in a hot oven (450 F-500F).By Browning in hot fat in a frying pan on the surface burner.By Adding boiling water and cooking at boiling temperature until the outside of the meat has lost its red colour.
Reasons For Cooking Meat
To develop flavour.
To soften the connective tissue when present in large quantity.To kill any living organisms that may be present.
BAR MIXES

Sweeping leaves isn't always thought of as the most enjoyable thing you can do, but it's the premise of new indie platformer Dustforce (though shouldn't that be LeafForce?!) Anyway, you have to run, jump, slide, attack and generally sweep your way through a host of levels.
Graphically Dustforce is an impressive game, its style looks deceptively simple at first but once there's a lot happening on screen, you'll realise how nicely designed the graphics are, and the animation is top notch. The music is excellent, I could load up this game purely to listen without playing (although the soundtrack is actually available to buy separately). The controls are quite simple though I did find them a bid fiddly at first (on the keyboard that is... one of these days I really am going to have to get myself another joystick!!).
After a tutorial level you get into the game map, which is like one huge level itself. Completing levels and getting good scores will give you keys to open up other levels. Some of the levels are quite small, but others look huge, and the level of challenge to complete each level varies widely ? as does the skill needed to merely complete a level compared to getting a very good score on it. For each level you get a score for technique and cleanliness (at least I think that's what it is!) as well as completion time, which gives you an overall rating ? you are instantly ranked against all other players' times. I tended to be somewhere around 18-20 thousandth (out of about 21,000!) - the best I did was about 15 thousandth. From this you can probably tell that platform games are really not my forte. I did enjoy Dustforce though, it's beautifully presented and plays very well, and there's a lot of variety and challenge there for platform fans.
You can choose from 4 different characters, though apart from aesthetic differences I wasn't sure if this made any difference to the game, and you can unlock more difficult levels when you got a ?perfect score? in any one level. Needless to say I have yet to achieve this... There's also a multi-player feature, which unfortunately I haven't been able to try out.
Basically, I suck at platform games so I didn't get as much out of Dustforce as it's possible to get. I think that if you're a fan of the platform genre then this game is going to keep you happy for a very long time. It's beautifully designed, the online high scores for each level will keep the best players compulsively returning to get a better score and trying to get into the worldwide top 10, while most platform gamers will simply enjoy the game.

"So, how, exactly, do you trick Google into giving you the foundation without allowing them to look through any windows? Heres how to set up an almost entirely non-Google-powered Android, in practice: Dont sign in during setup or enable backups
"When you first turn on your phone, or after you perform a factory reset on it, youll be asked to sign in with a Google account. Dont do it, and look for the Skip option. Your phone can run without a Google account, and you can add other accounts to fill out your contacts and calendar and the like--Microsoft Exchange, Facebook, Twitter, and more. Also skip the options to send feedback about your usage, back up your settings to Google, and so on. Skip just about everything."
There are many services offering the ability to upload and store images, and almost all of them come with some method of placing images into categories. Microsoft's Photosynth differs from the crowd somewhat, allowing you to take panoramic images which will be stitched together, and can then be uploaded to services such as Facebook. Panoramic images have always been beneficial in certain situations, and some phones do come with the ability to create panoramas by default.
News from Liveside.net points to a version of the app in the works for Windows Phone. The official website for Photosynth features newer images, and Brazilian website Gemind observed that images were taken from a variety of Windows Phone devices, including the Nokia Lumia 800. Other phones included the HTC Radar, Samsung Focus, and HTC HD7 were also used in testing, which would seem to point to work on an app commencing. Gemind went one step further, finding a synth image on the site which points to a version of the application in testing for Windows Phone.
While blurry, we can make out the larger bold text, which reads:
Below this, the category headers appear to be 'Build Status', 'Changed', and 'Build Updates', but we cannot be sure of this due to the blurriness of the image, which seems to be part and parcel of any and all leaked information. With this information though it does seem that a Photosynth app for Windows Phone could be releasing in the near future, after the feature was unfortunately not built into the Mango update for the mobile operating system.
[unable to retrieve full-text content]The Week - Obama's plan won't work: "'Punishing' schools that don't control costs" is futile, because most rising costs have nothing to do with the colleges themselves, say Michael McPherson and Sandy Baum in the Chicago Tribune. The main cause is the decision by cash-strapped states to slash higher-ed funding. "Everyone would like a magic bullet that would dramatically reduce the cost of educating students." But the truth is, high-quality education costs money, and nobody wants to pay for it. Obama can't punish schools into changing that reality."Can we keep colleges affordable?"

This week's PLoS Medicine reports on a comprehensive study that reveals that levels of the amino acid, homocysteine, have no significant effect on the risk of developing coronary heart disease. This concludes the ongoing argument of the previously suggested benefits of lowering homocysteine with folate acid. According to earlier studies, high blood levels of homocysteine might be a modifiable risk factor for coronary heart disease...

ROME (CNN) ? New York?s Catholic leader and the former Archbishop of Milwaukee is now a cardinal. He was elevated along with 21 other archbishops in a ceremony at St. Peter?s Basilica on Saturday.
Dolan spent seven years as Milwaukee?s Archbishop.? He left in 2009 to become the Archbishop of New York.?? Milwaukee?s catholic community celebrated Dolan?s elevation. Dolan is remembered as a larger-than-life personality who was approachable.
?He?s nice to people,? said?Robert Weronka, a Milwaukee Catholic attending mass at Our Lady of Divine Providence.? ?He smiles at people and he doesn?t look down on them. You?re supposed to have humility and that?s what he had.?
Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome Listecki , who was in Rome for the ceremony, said while many people are aware of Dolan?s exuberant personality, his less public side is just as important in his ministry? ?What is not known is is pastor?s heart,? Listecki said.? ?He went out and did things individually for people, he would go out and anoint an individual or visit some of the elderly who were associated with family members, you?d gear that he?d remember people?s likes or dislikes and he?s be traveling and bring back something for them.? Well, you remember that.?
The Vatican named the new cardinals last month, but they were officially inducted by the pontiff in a special ceremony inside Vatican City.
Among those to be elevated to the College of Cardinals are New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan, cementing his standing as the top Catholic in the United States, and Archbishop Edwin F. O?Brien of Baltimore.
Others include Archbishop Thomas Collins, from Toronto, as well as the Bishop of Hong Kong, John Tong Hon, and Major Archbishop George Alencherry from India
Senior clerics from Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Romania and Brazil are also represented, as well as several from Italy.
The College of Cardinals was established in 1150. Its main role is to advise the current Pope and pick his successor.
?This is the most exclusive club in the Catholic Church,? said John Allen, CNN?s Vatican analyst. ?In many cases, you also become, at least informally, a candidate to be the next pope, because the next pope will almost certainly come from the roughly 120 cardinals under the age of 80.?
Once a cardinal reaches 80, he is no longer able to participate in the election of the pope or enter the secret conclave where cardinals gather when the time comes to select the next pope, typically upon the prior pope?s death.
The new cardinals each professed their faith and swore an oath of obedience to Pope Benedict and his successors during Saturday?s ceremony, called the Consistory, at the Vatican.
They then walked one by one to the pontiff and knelt in front of him to receive the traditional red hat, or ?biretta,? and gold ring, and a document with the name of the cardinal?s titular church in Rome.
In his address, Benedict said that in joining the College of Cardinals, the clerics would ?be united with new and stronger bonds not only to the Roman Pontiff but also to the entire community of the faithful spread throughout the world.?
Emphasizing the importance of service over self-interest, the pontiff said the red of the cardinals? hats was symbolic of the ultimate sacrifice they would make if required.
?The new cardinals are entrusted with the service of love: love for God, love for his Church, an absolute and unconditional love for his brothers and sisters, even unto shedding their blood, if necessary, as expressed in the words of placing the biretta and as indicated by the color of their robes,? he said.
Pope Benedict also announced seven new saints, including the first Native American saint, a 17th-Century Mohawk woman called Kateri, or Catherine, Tekakwitha, who was a Catholic convert.
Existing members of the College of Cardinals and the new cardinals-elect came together for a day of prayer and reflection Friday, in preparation for the ceremony, according to the Holy See Press Office.
Dolan addressed the gathering on the subject of evangelization, saying there was a need to challenge a growing secularization of society.

There is basically one purpose when you make a presentation to a VC and that is to get them intrigued about your business. In fact such a presentation is like one that is done in a corporate setting but the VCs have to focus on the essential facts pertaining to your business. You need to be able to answer their questions and back up your answers with facts and figures.
Just as with everyone VCs are subject to time restrictions and therefore it is advisable that you keep your presentation clear and to the point. Look at it from the investor?s point of view. Consider listening to a number of presentations each week and ask yourself what would make one stand out from all the others.
*** Click here to raise Venture Capital!
The following facts are crucial and must be included in order to grab their attention and assist their memory:
A description of your business model and its function. A description of how revenue is generated and what your costs are. An explanation as to why your business is going to be a success. An explanation of how far along are you in your business plan. A description of your target market including size, growth, demographics, and change over time. A description of how your products and services meet a currently unfulfilled need among consumers. An outline of your competitors which happens to be the one point that is so often neglected in presentations. A break-down of the amount of investment that you require in order to succeed. An indication of the expected time it will take for your plan to work. An indication of your management teams abilities and history of success.
Bear in mind what the whole point of the presentation is: To solicit excitement in the investor. This is still the beginning stage and therefore not the right time to discuss things such as terms and details. The VC will not hesitate to contact you if interested. It is important to not go overboard or push your business too much. You need to be enthusiastic and optimistic but be realistic nonetheless. Remember that all VCs hear about strong management teams and successful business models, or that this is a first-mover advantage opportunity. Guy Kawaski who is a very successful and well-known VC has been quoted as saying: ??it gives me a migraine just thinking about those things?.
Again, try to think from the venture capitalist?s perspective. What is their goal? Make money. You need to make the case that your business will grow, increase significantly in value, and reach a liquidity event for a significant return on investment.

After every presentation is a question-and-answer session. This is your last opportunity to show the investors not only that your business is an ideal candidate for equity funding, but that you are a credible manager. Know every aspect of your finances and projections, inside and out. Know exactly where your business is going and when it will be profitable. Include detailed plans for your capital expenditures and uses-of-funds. Remember, this is your chance! Put your business on display and demonstrate how capable and enthusiastic you are about building it.

Jenny McCarthy is one busy lady! She has signed on to host the second season of NBC’s “Love in the Wild”, which will start filming in the Dominican Republic at the end of the month. What do you think of McCarthy replacing Season 1 host Darren McMullen? McCarthy is no stranger to hosting a dating show, who can forget her run on MTV’s hit show “Singled Out”?

We know that the contact center solution ecosystem that customer service organizations use is made up lots of complex technologies, as highlighted in our ?latest TechRadar?report. So how, do you know what technologies are the right ones to invest in ? the ones that will deliver real business value?
To figure this out, Forrester partnered with CustomerThink?to survey customer service organizations to understand the adoption rate of 18 contact center technologies. We also looked at the business value that these technologies deliver as defined by three questions: 1) How critical is each to business success? 2) What is the technology?s market reputation for value? 3) How difficult is it to implement and use? Here are our highlights, and you can?find?actual statistics in our report:
Solutions that focus on improving productivity have the most certain business value-add. Core contact center technologies enable agents to manage voice calls from customers via IVRs, log and manage inquiries via case management systems, provide standardized answers via knowledge management solutions, manage the quality of service delivered via quality monitoring solutions and for enterprise customers, optimize the scheduling of agent workforces. These solutions are mature, have a good market reputation among buyers, and they continue to deliver significant business success.
Electronic communication channels also provide business value when deployed. ?Not all organizations deploy chat or email solutions, but for those that do, these channels are critical to their business success. ?
Social technologies have mixed reputation. Customer communities have excellent reputations, but are seen as moderately critical and moderately difficult to implement. Social listening technologies are seen as moderately critical, with low barriers to implement, yet suffer from a mixed reputation for results. Social adapters, used to capture service inquiries from social media sites like Twitter and Facebook are still seen as optional, but have low barriers to implementation.?
A set of unrelated, complex technologies have the most uncertainty. Speech analytics, and virtual agents are viewed as optional in importance, difficult to implement, and offering low business-value add which relegate them to niche uses. Unified agent workspaces also are categorized as having uncertainty, primarily due to the fact that and these applications have been mostly subsumed into more comprehensive solutions that involve guiding agents through service resolution process flows.
Are you investing in the right technologies to ensure you are delivering a customer service experience in-line with the expectations of your customers?

In case you missed it, a revolution has taken place in the automotive industry not just in America but all over the globe during the last few years.
High gasoline prices, high monthly car leases, job lay-offs, busines closings and financial insecurity brought on by rigid politcal views, have reeked havoc on the American consumer and car buyer.
However, the bankruptcy of General Motors, the near collapse of Ford, the sale of Chrysler to Fiat and unending competion from German and Japanese automakers have triggered innovation in the automotive industry. Gone are grandfather?s land yachts, the big Mercurys, the big Fords, the big Lincolns and the big Cadillacs and in their place are the small SUVS with 4 and 6 cylinder engines and 4-wheel and all-wheel drives that are gaining in popularity and in sales.
Despite their size, these small vehicles have a lot of innovation, luxury and sophisticated hi-tech gadgetry that make them very appealing to family oriented buyers. Just about every small SUV on the market has, as an optional choice and in some cases as standard equipment, GPS systems, satellite radios, blue tooth connection capabilities, hand-less telephone capabilities and luxurious interiors with three-seat and five passenger capacity. High gasoline prices have forced the manufacturers into developing the 4 and 6 cylinder engines that are available on these small SUVS. In turn, these small engines have lead to better gasoline gallons per mile that range from 23 mpg. in the city fior the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander to the 31 mpg. highway for the 2011 Mercury Mariner with the hybrid engine. These new small engines, along with the safety and stability added by the all-wheel and 4-wheel drive, have caught the attention of the family buyer. And, one trend that is definetly in place and bound to grow is the hybrid engine.
Prices ranging from the small, bug-like Nissan hatchback at $19,579 to the Chevrolet Equinox with a $22,000 starting price to the highly-rated 2011 Toyota Rav-4 with a starting price of $33,000 with a 4-wheel drive, 3.5 litre V-6 engine are alsoo appealing to the pocketbooks of the family interested in buying a small SUV. As for actual small suv models reviews,complete product listings and full pricing information, the internet is loaded with this sort of information.
One key piece of information that every buyer should look at is the warranty on both the engine and powertrain. It?s important to know what manufacturer is willing to stand by his product and for how long and for how much?

Are You Looking To Change Your Life & Experience Financial Freedom?
At Virtual Assistant Live We Show You How...
Easy spot to at second-hand stores and garage sales, vintage suiteases come with built-in charm (and, usually, a not-so-pleasant smell). Battered corners and silky linings tell tales of the suitcase?s travelled past, and you can instantly imagine the trips taken and memories made by previous owners.
It?s just as easy to imagine taking one of those suitcases on a new trip, albeit one which tranforms it as creative storage, a cozy bed for Fifi, or a modern tech-savvy charging station.
Here are just a few of the most creative suitcase re-purposing projects we?ve spotted. (Look for links to full DIY in the Sourcing section below!)
It doesn?t matter if you?re a cat person or a dog lover, your furry family member will feel right at home with a stylish space of its own.
Of course, suitcases make lovely seats for your less furry family members too ? just add legs, upholstery foam and pillows.
Did you see this colourful train case-cum-charging station on Design*Sponge last week? Most charging stations tend toward masculine styling, so we loved that the suitcase?s original girly colour was preserved, and the colourful feminine lining that was added.
Thinking outside the closet is the key to giving these suitcases a new lease on life. Create an organized and portable crafting station for kids (or mom!), or a picnic-party-in-a-box that will be ready to go when spring weather arrives.
Anyone who?s visited the home of a musician knows how instruments can take over the home. This guitar stand from the master Macgyver-ers at Readymade keeps things corralled, and folded up is easy to tote on stage or to band practice.
Of course, don?t overlook the suitcase?s original intent: storing clothes. Britsh artist James Plumb created custom chests and fitted suitcase fronts to the drawers for a one-of-a-kind look.

Juno is most commonly known as the marriage asteroid and in myth the feminine counterpart to Zeus (Jupiter). Taken at its simplest, however, it is the mark of commitment in general. While we are most familiar with the role commitment takes in relationships, commitment is also touted as the determining factor for success in most areas of life.
